Everything looks fine. It was a run-of-the-mill appointment. The heartbeat was good and that's about it. I gained 7 pounds since 4 weeks ago. Yikes! I have my glucose test scheduled for Friday and I am not looking forward to it. Luckily, I don't have to fast for it (some women do).
And, Jason felt the baby a couple times last night and randomly at 6am after he let the dog out and climbed back into bed. It's so cool that he can finally feel the baby!
I'm batting a cold and thought I was feeling better until I tried to walk Cyan. I thought my eardrums were going to burst. So, I cut my walk short and am trying (operative word) to lay low.

My Free U/S
We had our free u/s today. Poor Jason was sick as a dog but he went anyway. It was supposed to be a class but it ended up that one of the teachers quit so the class didn't come. The instructor who arranged it was kind enough to still give us the u/s. That surprised me but I'm not complaining.
The baby is good. She didn't do any 'diagnostics' since it was a free, for fun u/s. The baby's heart was beating along. They weigh 1 lb, 8 oz. Isn't that crazy? We're certainly growing! We got to see the spine and ribs along with everything else.
The baby was awake for this u/s (which is what I wanted). But, since they kept moving, the woman had a hard time staying on one shot. Every time the little bugger moved, I felt the kick. That was very cool to know that what I'm feeling is indeed the baby.
We even got pictures from today. They're not as good as last time but I didn't expect any. I don't have a scanner at home right now so I'll have to scan them from work when I get a second. She got shots of the baby with the hands up over the head.
And, the woman said she could tell us the gender if we wanted. We passed on that. But, I did see the shot that would tell us the gender and I do have a guess. I'd say I'd guess 80% I know what we're having. Jason saw the same shot but we didn't discuss what gender we thought the baby was. I've seen so many gender ultrasounds so I know what they look for to determine the sex.
I'll post pictures when I can.
Other than that, we're just freezing our butts off. Cyan had two days at Bow Wow because of the weather and Jason's sickness. I couldn't walk her today because of our icy sidewalks. So, the lucky dog got to play all day with other doggies. I hope she appreciates it because our wallet doesn't. Oh well, that's the price of love.

Carpet!
The carpet came in. The green bottom part of the nursery seemed too dark at first. I think the carpet lightened it up, at least. Once we get a chair rail and furniture in I think it will be okay.
(Oh yea, and an update on the pregnancy thing in general. I have a free ultrasound on Thursday with a teaching school! Someone suggested going to a sonography school to land a free u/s so I did just that! And, on Wednesday we have a dog class to prep Cyan for a baby. Then on Saturday we have a baby basics course. Lastly, I have my 24 week appt. on next Monday. So, after things being quiet for a few months, they're starting to pick up! I'm 2/3rds of the way through. It's still going slowly but I'm sure it will be here before we know it.)

Nursery
The nursery work has begun... (Photobucket or Blogspot keeps cropping these pictures... sorry. If you want to see the whole thing, just click on the picture. I don't feel like re-adjusting all the pictures right now.)

Registered!
Here's a shameless self-promotion for baby... we registered! So far, we're registered at Babies R Us (http://www.babiesrus.com/) and we're probably going to do it at Burlington as soon as we can.
It was exhausting work. We were there for probably 3 hours and faded out at the end. So, I'm sure there are items we should have scanned that were located at the end of the store, but we simply ran out of time and energy. I think we covered most of the things we need.
Anyway, I'm not sure who reads this anymore, but I do know of a few family members and a couple friends so I wanted to post this. I know I was asked by one or two people what they should buy us. Since I didn't want to decide, I thought I'd just point you to the registry.
I think baby is okay. The little one didn't move at all the day we registered so that scared the daylights out of me. But, I did feel movement the next day so I think everything's good for now. I know I worry too much but that's just how/who I am. I try to control it, though.
Jason and I bought the nursery paint the weekend and he plans to paint the room starting this weekend. His parents were generous enough to get us carpet (and I can't be more thankful) so we're on a deadline to get the room painted. I think that's a good thing because it will get Jason's butt in gear!
----------------
P.S. - I know the glider is horribly expensive. It just shows that I want a full sized cherry wood rocker with foot stool. I think I need to find a cheaper one at Burlington to scan. I can't believe that it costs something like $500. It better serve dinner at that price, too.
